This vibe can best be used for labia and clitoral stimulation, as well as a vaginal vibe. I didn't get much out of it as a vaginal (internal) vibe, nor as a g-spot vibe when I tried to apply the tip to my g-spot. It wasn't strong enough for me, but I think it'll work better for those whose clitorises are much more sensitive than mine. It all depends on how strong one likes their vibes.

This toy is made of plastic and is phthalates free. I also smelled it--no odor that I could tell. It has a smooth, velvety surface, and has a control button at the base, which is also made of plastic. The Desire has two sets of ribbing: one closer to the base of the toy for vaginal opening stimulation, and one close to the tip of the shaft, for deeper internal stimulation. I think most people will enjoy it, including those who are new to this particular texture, since it's really pleasurable to the touch.

The Desire is 7.25 inches long, with a circumference of 4 inches, and a diameter of 1.25 inches at its widest point (the ribbing). It is also insertable up to 6 inches. This is really nice because it isn't an overwhelming length nor girth and anyone can use it. It has two sets of ribbing, and an egg-shaped tip. The control/base of the toy is a darker blue than the shaft, and is a nice contrast.

Is this toy safe and discreet for travel? I'd say yes; but then, I'd also say yes to any other toy I wanted to take with me on my trip. The fact that it takes only 2 AA batteries and is compact enough to toss in my purse in case of ecstasy is a plus. In addition, the batteries are easy to exchange when they become weak because the base screws off easily and without fuss.

The Desire has three vibration settings, and can be activated with the click of the button on its base. The lowest vibration setting is really soft, the second is a bit stronger and is a bit louder and the third, and strongest, setting is the loudest, and was very pleasant.

I didn't particularly find this toy's vibrations to be very good internally since I couldn't really feel them, even at their strongest. When I applied the vibrations to my clit, it felt really good, though not enough to make me orgasm. I found I liked this toy best to used for thrusting, since I was able to enjoy a sense of fullness and it helps me get better prepared for longer toys and those with more girth.

I do like that this toy is waterproof, and the buzzy vibes give me a nice feeling so I have something to feed off of for the next few hours.

The vibrations are buzzy and are primarily in the top half of the toy, with some residual throughout the bottom half. I found this toy to not be strong enough for me. When I want a vibe, I want a strong vibe, as it gets me off much more effectively than does a weaker vibe.

This toy is waterproof, so you can clean it with antibacterial soap and water and/or a toy cleaner. However, I did leave it to air dry, so it didn't catch any stray fibers from blotting or wiping it dry.

The Desire came in a cool tin, with Evolved's logo and a simple design structure making it easily identifiable and pleasant to look at. The front has a window-like view of the toy, with only the toy showing, not the black padding inside the box that holds the toy from rocking about and making noise.
